I found these at a garage sale & bought them because they are beautiful. I wanted to know what the best method of getting them cleaned up was.

My grandma is normally a rather bitter elderly lady.

Hi everyone. I bought this for $40 from an online pawnshop. It is in transit. It is listed as Clean, Very good condition. I figure, even if it needs a little work, I am not too upset. Is it a good typer? Im having trouble estimating a year. It is an intro TW for me. I'll upgrade one day. Thanks!1yr ⋅ HotdogCzar ⋅ r/typewriters
